LONDON, March 25.--In the House of COM
mons, last night Healey remarking that he
had just heard for the first time the real OBJ
ject of the crimes bill, said he would be de-
lighted if the government would suppress
the National League, because this would re-
lieve the Irish members of great response
bility, and the people would then conduct
the agrarian movement for themselves.
Suppress the league by all means," said Mr..
r1fea 1eaaiiss Icy ..eyen stop public speaking, but in
the latter event the Parnefl flIlites will leave to
government the responsibility for the bf00a~
that might be spilled" Healey wanted Cham
berlain to explain how Parliament could
pass any land purchase bill without involy-
ing the imperial credit. On motion being
made to adjourn, H. w. Smith expressed the
hope that the debate would be finished to-
day. Parnell said he hoped it would not be
understood that Irish members assented to
this suggestion.
The Standard says Gladstone has defined
his policy, which is one that will open unre-
lenting and incessant obstruction to the gov
ernment in its endeavors in benalf of Ire
land.
Bright writes that he thinks there is no
need of another great land settlement for
Ireland, that the question was raised by the
rebel party as weapon with which to COM
pei England to grant Home Rule.

In the House of Commons this evening A.
J. Balfour announced that the bills amend
ing Irish leases, and system of land trans
fer and other measures relative TO Ireland
would be introduced in the House of Lords
Thursday.
Sir Henry James, Liberal Unionist, re-
preached Gladstone and Morley with sup
porting'the plan of campaign. He dissented
from their view that it was of less moment
that criminals should go undeteeted than
that justice be administered to the thous-
ands. 1t was the first duty Of the govern
ment, he said, to uphold law and protect 10y
al subjects. Cheers from the Irish MEM
bers9 Did section of the House jeer that
sentiment?
Sir William Vernod Harcourt retorted that
Sir Henry advocated the Tory principles,
that the law must be enforced whether 1t be
just or unjust. The crime they had to deal
with was the direct outcome of unjust laws,
if the flaws were amended coercion would
not be needed The speaker created much
laughter by humorous references to Mr..
Chamberlain's confidence that the House of
Lords would pass satisfactory land bill.
As for himself he would have more conf
dence if Chamberlain were there to pilot the
bill. The policy of the government, he said,
appeared to be continue exorbitant rents and
thereby bankrupt tenants. Chamberlain
had had so much to dO.with bankruptcy laws
that he appeared to think it the summit of
human felicity to become bankrupt The
government might have made out a strong
case for applying coercion to Belfast, but as
for the rest of Ireland there yas no evidence
whatever to support such measure.
Mr.. Goschen.safte referring to Sir William
Vernon Harcourt as the parliamentary coun
sci of the National League, asked whether
Harcourt, when Home Secretary stopped to
consider whether the laws were Just or un-
just. He blamed the opposition for the delay
in the introduction of the governments Irish
proposals. 1t was the first lime in the his
tory of Parliament that an ex-Premier and
eX-HOme Secretary had deserted the govern
ment in the conduct Of the ordinary business
OF the House. Proceeding to argue in favor of
the governments measures, Mr.. Goschen was
so much interrupted by the Irish members
that The Speaker interfered to keep order.
| Continuing Goschen said that the agrarian
| question was being utilized by the political
party Of Ireland to dupe the democracy of
England. (Cheers) The National party
| did not want progress in Ireland. The gov
| ernment did not despair, but would proceed
with their remedialIlegislation undeterred by
| fear of the sanarchial forces, even though
| strengthened and countenanced by the regu-
| lar opposition
Parnell protesting that the Parnellites had
| been almost entirely shut out from the de-
bate moved to adjourn. Such debate, he
| said, was mocking.
N II. Smith refused to agree to a motion
| to adjourn.
Smith said that the Parnellitos had had
ample opportunity to join in the debate, and
remarked that Mr.. Parnell himself had been
absent during the greater part of the debate.
| Parnell retorted: 1t is curious. L also
noticed the absence of the Right Honorable
Gentleman. Parnellite cheers.)
Smith denied that he had been absent
more than an hour at any time during the
| whole of the debate
| Mr. Gladstone said he regretted that the
| leader of the House had taken the dangerous
| position of commenting upon the absence of
| individuals. When he had more experience
| in his present position he would find such
| observations much resented. He hoped,
\ however, that Parnells motion would not be
| passed. Such motions would tend to thicken
the coming:fray, which he foresaw, from
| Goschen'S charges against the NatiOnaliStS,
| was going to be thick enough.
MT. Sexton said that although Parnell's
health was far from robust, his attendance
would compare favorably with that Of any
| member of the government. The Irish men,
bers would take care to be fully heard during
| the next and subsequent stages of the bill.
The motion to adjourn was withdrawn and
| the House divided on Morley's amendment
$40 to 26o. The announcement OF the vote
was received with loud opposition cheers.
The resolution to grant urgency for crimes
was agreed to and the first reading of the
bill was postponed till Monday.
German newspapers say that Degalef, the
alleged leader of the recently discovered
plot to assassnate the Gar, is safe in Amer

Mr.. Tankerville Chamberlayne, owner of
the cutter yacht Arrow and the holder of
the Queens cup, writes to the Times that he
knew the Arrow had no title to the yachting
championship, and that he offered the cup
for competition merely to induce American
yachtsmen to send over to English waters
that his determination to offer the cup was
due to desire to arouse interest '.in one of
our noblest sports. The loss Gi the cup,
Mr.. Chamberlayne continues, will be to me
as the loss of valuable heirloom; but
trust the sacrifice will be productive of good
results. If my conditions, which are not
onerous, are agreed to, the match between
the Arrow and the American sloop May
flower will come on.
